Mt. Koya or Koyasan, is the home of a Japanese sect of Buddhism called Shingon. The area was first settled in the year 819 by the monk Kukai and his followers, when he established the first temple there. Besides learning about the historical and religious significance of spots around Mt. Koya, like Okunoin - a vast atmospheric Buddhist graveyard that leads to the sacred mausoleum of Kukai (renamed Kobo Daishi in death), visitors to Mt. Koya can also enjoy the beautiful natural surroundings and fresh mountain air. Here, you will enjoy a lunch of authentic Buddhist vegetarian cuisine at Henjoko-in Temple, Eko-in Temple, or Tentoku-in Temple.
